1 IP, 8 ER .. four in the first and four in the second. Apparently, he didn't record an out in the second. His ERA is 5.56 now.

His ERA was 4.33 coming into the game tonight.

Hmm, Givens looking much more comfortable.

Givens was getting the ball to the C's glove consistently. A while since I've seen that. He missed pretty badly on the last pitch but got the K on it.

He's been pretty erratic and inconsistent this season so far much like he was for us most of the time, but tonight's outing was by far the worst.

Looks like Gausman isn’t going to turn into the next Jake Arrieta.

Martin is really the definition of "glove first."

I wish we could get O’Day back.  I just saw he is on the DL but is looking good for them.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Nats up 14-0 now. I don’t know what is up with baseball this season, but Howie Kendrick should not be slugging .600 even if it is relatively early still. 

[Il BuonO]

Why does Hyde keep pushing his luck with Givens in multiple innings?

O’Day hasn’t pitched in one game for the Braves since getting traded.

And Anibel Sanchez (ERA over 5, just coming off the DL for a hamstring) has a no hitter through 4 for the Nats.

I took Freddie Freeman in the MLB Beat the Streak.   Need him to get a hit.

..because we have the lead and that is a no-no.

And landed on a whammy.

Nice decision there Hyder.   Reminds me of Buck pushing for more than you can expect.  

[O's84]

Our bullpen blows.
